Today is Tuesday the 30th of April and yesterday, the first minister of Scotland's parliament resigned!

What happened? Why?

@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading to investigate.

He finds the original coalition agreement between the Greens and the Nats was informed.

The deal promised economic gain to fund ecological targets.

But the real world, and England's control of Scottish law, made those targets impossible.

The targets were diluted down so much that the greens had to quit the coalition.

Now some wealthy activist economist will take over. Strongly suggested female, so maybe Kate Forbes.

Welcome friends to the wordcloud tarot show, direct from the Tarotdrome here in cyber-space in front of an audience of tarot cartoons!

Today is Tuesday the 30th of April and yesterday, the first minister of Scotland's parliament resigned!

Lets do a five minute tarot reading to find out what happened.

We'll use this, the word cloud tarot happy toast deck. Each card has a drawing by the amazing Happy Toast, plus the meaning of the card is written onto each card itself in a word-cloud.

This makes our reading very transparent, you can see that the cards mean what we say they mean.

Today we'll do a five card cross, so lets go!

Past - 14 Of Cups, King

The card for Past is the King of Cups!

Something mild humble and intellectual.

The original power-sharing agreement. It was between the Nats and the Greens.

It's a gracious compassionate cultural agreement such as a informed personable courteous advisor or counsellor might recommend.

A generous faithful thoughtful agreement.

External Influence - 6 Of Pentacles, Success

In the External slot we have the six of pentacles.

The external agreement defined the terms of success.

A well managed economy with good investment bringing money, improving prosperity.

These gains let government show magnanimity, munificence and altruism. There can be charity and compassion , allowing flourishing liberty and saying thanks by sharing wealth.

liberal commodity economics brings riches to be spent on environmental targets beneficence and wellbeing .

Hidden Influence - 8 Of Trumps, Strength

The card for Hidden Influence is - 8 Of Trumps

There's a hidden force
that has strength and control over Scotland.

Likely England, or just basic global economic factors.

The willingness to sacrifice , however sure your belief , however brave your patriotism , always meets the systems of real-life power , limited supply , energy constraints.

Those desired expectations, the targets, could not be met.

Present - 14 Of Trumps, Temperence

The card for Present is - 14 Of Trumps

Those hidden powers force temperance on the nation. To maintain stability, it controls and moderates. Pushing restraint onto those ambitious targets.

Under conflict from foreign forces, Scotland is tempered, and can't meet it's objectives.

And Scotland announced as much.

It broke the harmony of the synthesis, the balance of unity.

The greens left.

The power-sharing agreement collapsed.

Outcome - 13 Of Pentacles, Queen

The card for Outcome is - 13 Of Pentacles, Queen

I confess I don't know much about the candidates, but the cards suggest a sophisticated wealthy environmental activist , a powerful leader and businesswoman with good economic and ecosystem knowledge.

It's a strongly female card, even among the queens, but I don't really know Kate Forbes well enough to say if that's what she's like.

Perhaps that describes John Swinney or Neil Gray or someone else better?

But the new leader will be a wealthy activist economist.

Summary

So in summary, the original coalition agreement between the Greens and the Nats was informed.

The deal promised economic gain to fund ecological targets.

But the real world, and England's control of Scottish law, made those targets impossible.

The targets were diluted down so much that the greens had to quit the coalition.

Now some wealthy activist economist will take over.

Strongly suggested female, so maybe Kate Forbes.

End
